Bloys told TV Line: “The reality is, they are some of the busiest actresses working in Hollywood.

“I just think it’s not realistic.”

He said that the actresses will be too busy for another series.

Kidman is working on The Undoing for HBO, while Shailene Woodley is voicing the character Arkie in an upcoming animated film. Zöe Kravitz has been tapped to play in High Fidelity, a TV series for Disney’s streaming service. And Meryl Streep? The esteemed actress has about three or four projects on the burner, includingThe Prom with Nicole Kidman.
